Vanaf september 2011 wordt de specialisatie Philosophy of Social Sciences vervangen door Philosophy of Political Science.
De specialisatie Philosophy of Political Science beoogt een filosofische reflectie op de (grondslagen van de) politieke wetenschappen en de bestuurskunde en de toepassing daarvan. Deze reflectie vindt haar oorsprong in methodologische en normatieve vragen.
Programme
Students follow a part of their master’s programme at the Faculty of Social Sciences. The remaining parts of the programme, the courses in Philosophy and the specialist courses in Philosophy of Social Sciences, are characterised by a firm integration of historical and systematic approaches in philosophy and an emphasis on studying primary philosophical texts. This gives students familiarity with both historical scholarship and current philosophical debates.
The Leiden Institute for Philosophy offers a combination of Continental and analytical philosophy, which is an attractive feature for students searching for a confrontation of different types of philosophical method. The specialist courses in Philosophy of Social Sciences can in some instances be adapted to the student’s personal interests and may be offered as a series of individual tutorial sessions.
For information about the structure of the programme, and the most up to date course overview, see the e-Prospectus.
